the full immersion, self referential composition with five-syllable verses by Daniela Domenici
the full immersion
in one of my lives
the Sicilian one
is going to end
…
I have met people
I had not seen
for many years
we have all grown old
often difficult
to recognize them
…
I gorged myself
on local foods
I had forgotten
I have gained weight
it doesn’t matter
…
goodbye Sicily!
